Preparing Your Azure Infrastructure Before Installing the App

About this Page

This guide outlines the steps required to configure your Azure infrastructure to work with the Revyz application. The process involves creating a dedicated storage location and setting up specific permissions for the Revyz application to access it securely.

At the end of this process, you will perform a verification step, to confirm that all permissions are correctly configured.

Prerequisites for Azure Blob Storage Setup

Details of how to complete steps 1 to 7 (Prerequisites for Azure Blob Storage Setup) are detailed below:

Step 1: Create a resource group

First, create a new resource group. This will act as a logical container to hold all the related Azure resources for this integration (like the storage account, custom roles, etc.).
For details: How to create a Resource Group.

Step 2: Create a Storage Account

Inside the new resource group, create a new Storage account. This is the primary storage resource where your data will be managed.
For details: Create a storage account

Step 3: Create a Storage Container

Within the storage account you just created, create a specific blob container. This container is the specific "folder" the Revyz application will write to and read from.
For details: Create a blob container

Step 4: Note the Azure Directory's Tenant ID

You will need to identify your Tenant ID from Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). This ID uniquely identifies your Azure tenant.
For details: How to find your Microsoft Entra Tenant ID

Step 5: Register an Application

Register a new application within Microsoft Entra ID. This registration creates an identity for the Revyz application, allowing it to be authenticated and authorized.
For details: Register an application with Microsoft Entra ID

Step 6: Create a Client Secret for the Application

On the application you just registered, create a Client Secret. This acts as a password for the application and will be used by Revyz to authenticate.
Steps for creating: Add a client secret

Step 7: Create a Custom Role
